Compile latest Samba after Issue in Ubuntu 14.04.3

I ran into trouble with the Samba package on my ubuntu 14.04.3. I had the requirement of mapping root (/) folder on the network without concern of the security for my own internal purpose. However, earlier it use to run fine but in the latest Ubuntu it altogether stop responding and throw the error “Invalid handle” in my Windows PC.

So, finally I decided to compile latest version of Samba on ubuntu and check if the issue is resolved. Thankfully, issue got resolved and I was again back to my normal life :).

Please note: It is highly recommended not to map root (/) folder on the network until and unless you really know what you are doing.
